VT Mountaineering

Vincent — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 04:29:49 +0000

A couple of buddies and I drove down to Vermont this passed weekend for some late season camping, hiking, trekking and good ole’ brew drinking. While campfire burgers and sleeping in below freezing temperature were wickedly gratifying, the real highlight was hiking up the 4,395 feet peak that was Mt. Mansfield. Recorded as the highest summit of the Green Mountains of New England, it was definitely not as swift of a trail as we might have expected. With each step our legs grew weaker and the hill got more steep. By the time we’d nearly reach the top, it became much more of a mental challenge rather than physical; not only was it colder but it was much more dangerous. It took a short pep talk to rally the troop up the rest of the cliff, but we prevailed and boy was the view and sense of achievement worth every muscle contraction. It is at that very moment that I truely grasped the definition of sublimity, seeing the ice and snow covered neighboring summits and the endless horizon forming the spherical crust of the earth really surpassed the conception of what beauty means.

The Madbury Club | Autumn Lookbook PREVIEW

I know that by now, it may have seemed that I was neglecting the third part of my New York journey when I briefly mentioned it in my first 2 NY posts. Truth is, I was keeping the best for last. Phil and I go way back beyond the AwardTour days, so it was an honor and delight to finally get to work on something together. Evidently, we had a very productive team who made the whole thing possible. From the top of my head: Phil, Fost, Maura, Billy, Kelly, Hawaii Mike, Luke & the rest of the amazing crew!

Here are some preliminary snaps until Phil gets working on his typeface magic. In the meantime, you can check out the newly uploaded spreads over at Madbury

Dana Lee for Selectism

Here are some shots I did of Dana Lee’s FW10 leather duffle for Selectism. Much thanks to Jason Dike for the kind words…

“There’s been a few bumps along the way, but here’s the second installment of our guest blogger series. Picking guest bloggers isn’t easy, but choosing On And Beyond was as big a no-brainer as no-brainers get. Of course when we first chose him, he was still relatively under the radar; since then he’s been shouted out by GQ and started working with Nike. We’re just glad he replied to our emails.

Given On and Beyond’s photography, we thought it made sense to get him to showcase a stand out piece from one of our favourite designers, Dana Lee. We picked the shearling lined leather duffle coat from her autumn/winter 2010 collection, because it deserved a closer look. The rest is up to Vincent.”

I’m liking the styling job on this lookbook. That half flannel mountain parka is quite nice as well.

STPL Design | 84 Orchard St.

I went down to NY over the weekend with JK and Maura, and I must say that one of the highlights of our trip was visiting the STPL Design Offices, we got to see the workshop that spawns all these great ideas and yes, I got to see Jeff Staple’s workspace. Nico (Brand Manager of STAPLE & Manager/Buyer of Reed Space) gave us a look at what Stpl’s Fall 2010 line has to offer. From what we were told, they have moved their Cut&Sew manufacturing to Japan at the same factory as Visvim & Neighborhood. While we shouldn’t expect to see Horween leather reinforcements on the elbows or Egyptian cotton lining, we can however trust the quality of the workmanship.

Excuse the lack of updates. I’ve been quite busy. A nice project I’m working on is Bruxe‘s Fall 2010 Lookbook. I photographed and art directed the shoot. The Fall collection is looking great with much more toned down pieces from the Montreal design Duo. Here are some previews…. Big thanks to Jonas, Marcus, Mer, Oli and everyone who was involved.
